Problem with swinstall

Sylvie Vezina — Wed, 17 Dec 2003 12:40:44 GMT

Hi, I try to install software with swinsall (I tried with Sam and manually)and after analysis my screen freeze(Status: Finishing Analysis. My logs haven't any error, everything seems to be normal, but I can't continue the installation. I've already installed this software on another server without problem.
I run Unix 10.20 on server K420
Thanks

Did you check the swagentd.log file and syslog.log file? Is that happens to only that depot? If swinstall fails with another depot too (may be a patch), it can be SD-UX issue.

I would make sure that the system is updated with latest patches.

I've seen that problem in 10.20 before. Install the swagentd cumulative patch (PHCO_20209) and make sure that Glance is not running when you swinstall this patch. If you have MeasureWare running, I would do an /sbin/init.d/mwa stop as well before installing the swagentd patch. The good news is that the swagentd patch will swinstall even though your desired patch fails.

You may also want to stop and restart swagentd:

/sbin/init.d/swagentd stop
/sbin/init.d/swagentd start
